%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ Poppler The Poppler package contains a PDF rendering library and command line tools used to manipulate PDF files. This is useful for providing PDF rendering functionality as a shared library. &lfs77_checked; &gcc5_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &poppler-md5sum; Download size: &poppler-size; Estimated disk space required: &poppler-buildsize; Estimated build time: &poppler-time; Additional Downloads Download (HTTP): Download MD5 sum: &poppler-data-md5sum; Download size: &poppler-data-size; The additional package consists of encoding files for use with Poppler. The encoding files are optional and Poppler will automatically read them if they are present. When installed, they enable Poppler to render CJK and Cyrillic properly. Poppler Dependencies Required Recommended , , , and Optional , , , , or , , (preference is for OpenJPEG1, due to regressions with OpenJPEG2), (the libpoppler-qt4.so library is needed for PDF support in Okular), and User Notes: In order to optionally run the test suite, an additional download of about 9 MB using is necessary. Make sure that you do not have the directory ../test. rm -rf testfiles && git clone git://git.freedesktop.org/git/poppler/test testfiles This package can be optionally built with support for either the Qt4 or Qt5 libraries, but it only builds with one of those at a time. If you have both Qt versions installed, you will need to specify which one to use before executing the configure command given below. Use this command to link to Qt4: source /usr/bin/setqt4 or use this to use Qt5: source /usr/bin/setqt5 If you would like Poppler to link to both Qt versions, you will need to build it twice. Install Poppler by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --disable-static \ --enable-xpdf-headers \ --with-testdatadir=$PWD/testfiles && make To test the results, issue: LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 make check. Now, as the root user: make install To install the documentation, run the following commands as root: install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/poppler-&poppler-version; && install -v -m644 README* /usr/share/doc/poppler-&poppler-version; && cp -vr glib/reference/html /usr/share/doc/poppler-&poppler-version; Poppler Data If you downloaded the additional encoding data package, install it by issuing the following commands as the root user: tar -xf ../poppler-data-&poppler-data-version;.tar.gz && cd poppler-data-&poppler-data-version; Now, as the root user: make prefix=/usr install --enable-xpdf-headers: Install some old Xpdf headers required by certain programs (e.g. Okular, LibreOffice and Inkscape). --with-testdatadir=$PWD/testfiles: Tell the test programs where the auxillary files are located. --enable-libcurl: Use libcurl for HTTP support. LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 make check: Run the test suite. The environment variable LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 is only needed if the default locale does not include UTF-8.
